king of ros

Chapter 201 Homecoming
When Rostislav was still thinking about summarizing the various forces in Russia, summarizing the current situation and related coping attitudes, Kyiv also became lively.

The first ones in Kyiv are often fishermen, who go out to fish very early and come back when the sun comes out.

Now that the sun is out, they naturally sell their income in the market, and with the opening of the fish market, the whole city is bustling.

People engaged in various industries took to the streets noisily, and soon the streets became bustling, and all kinds of voices and languages ​​filled the sky.

Of course, there are many ostentatious people among them, such as those successful immigrants under Rostislav's command. After all, they were dragged to the banquet when they entered Kyiv yesterday, so naturally they can show off today.

For example, now, Valin is wearing his most gorgeous fur coat, and he is swaggering through the city surrounded by a dozen followers behind him. After all, he can be said to be a real estate aristocrat in Northeast Ross.

Although Valin lived in the swamp outside Kyiv back then, he also had frequent activities in the city, and now he is going to the place where he was often active in those years.

He used to live alone in the swamp, where he had no neighbors to show off his achievements, so he had to come to the city.

It was an alley dedicated to collecting fur, and it was also a spontaneously formed leather workshop. You can see it after walking a few dozen steps inside, and the avenue of Kyiv is outside.

In the past, Valin often brought his prey here to sell. At that time, he was very humble, and often had to look at the faces of those buyers to sell things at a barely reasonable price.

In Kyiv, businessmen in these industries all have unspoken rules for mutual acquisitions, and they have thugs to deter them, and no one interferes against their wishes.

Weicher is not interested in these things, after all, this small business is not very lucrative, and it offends others.

The Grand Duke can't even see these, and even if he sees it, he treats it as if he didn't see it. There are so many things like this in Kyiv, so it's hard to let the Grand Duke take care of them all.

What's more, the big bosses behind these businesses are often the dignitaries of Kyiv, and the Grand Duke will not affect the "small businesses" of the dignitaries.

Entering the alleys where he wandered back then, the familiar pungent smell came to his face. It was the smell of leather treatment. This smell was very familiar and disgusting to him, but he had to accept it.

The alleys are full of ragged people, some of whom are only wrapped in a tattered fur. They are either busy processing the leather, or bargaining with the buyers for the goods they bring. The tanners carry the fur to his tools.

A nobleman like Valin, who was embracing from front to back, naturally attracted a lot of attention, and people were wondering why such a nobleman would walk into this place where the low class people in Kyiv.

But soon, someone recognized that face.

"Ah? Isn't that Valin? Didn't he die on the battlefield? Why did he come back?"

"Valin? The Varin who disappeared for seven years?"

"Yes, it's him. I thought he died somewhere. Now it seems that he is not only alive, but also developed."

With such words, the information of Valin's identity quickly spread, and everyone soon remembered that there was a hunter who came here to sell furs on his back. , the fur can't be sold at any price.

After he disappeared, everyone assumed that he was dead, and only a few friends knew that he went to Northeast Ross.

Death is a very common thing. People who are still chatting with you today may be gone tomorrow.

But now this "dead man" has returned, and he has really changed his shot, and suddenly he became a nobleman and came back to show off his might.

Friends who had a close relationship with Varin back then went up to greet him after confirming his identity, and Varin was also very enthusiastic about these former friends, and subconsciously fished his hands into his arms, intending to take out a few hryvnias to give to his friends.

But then the action froze. In such a place where good and bad people are mixed together, and there are evil forces rampant, doing so is not helping friends, it is harming friends.

So he put his hand into another bag without any trace, grabbed out a handful of silver coins and distributed them to a few friends. These dirham silver coins are much more inconspicuous than the silver ingots like hryvnia.

The friends were very surprised. They didn't expect this friend who hadn't seen him for a long time to be so generous when he came up. They immediately smiled and thanked him again and again. These silver coins are directly comparable to their salary for several months.

And following Valin's behavior of throwing money, everyone's eyes became hot all of a sudden, no matter whether they knew Varin or not, they all came together and pretended to be his acquaintances to say hello, as if asking for money.

Even the gangster thugs who didn't give anyone a good face in the past were all smiles at this moment. It is natural to be humble when facing such a noble person.

Even those high-spirited leather buyers are full of fawning faces, they are usually proud of the sky.

But this disgusted Valin, and he still remembered how arrogant these people were, and how they insulted him, but the expression on his face remained the same.

Valin's followers hurriedly blocked the crowd, and Valin was also very generous. He didn't know how happy he was seeing that scene. There is nothing better than being returned home. He directly sprinkled the crowd one after another Silver coins, people also rushed to grab them.

While people were looting, Varin and his old friends found a place to sit down, and they all wanted to know how Varin made his fortune.

This greatly satisfied his vanity, and this was part of his plan, Rostislav's request, so Valin began to talk about his fortune-making experience in Northeast Ross.

As Valin explained, more and more people gathered around to listen. Valin's rich story had a strong attraction for them.

Valin described Northeast Ross as a place full of opportunities in his words, and because of his behavior of throwing money just now, people naturally believed in the credibility of his words.

Looking into the eyes of those people, Valin knew that his mission was completed. This place is full of people struggling on the poverty line in Kyiv. When someone points out a road to wealth and gives a direct example, people will naturally come forward. go to defect.

After Varin's story was told, people began to ask questions, mainly about the treatment and development of going to Northeast Ross. After hearing these questions, Varin smiled at the corner of his mouth, and his mission began.

Scenes like this are playing out all over Kyiv, and this is Rostislav's plan to show the citizens and farmers struggling in Kyiv to see their successful neighbors, and to describe Northeast Rus as full of opportunities to attract They came to Northeast Ross.

As for whether they can make a fortune after coming to Northeast Ross, well, I can only say that it depends on themselves. Anyway, they have a better chance than in Kyiv, and they basically can’t leave after they come. The cost of traveling far in this era is not low.

Under the action of Rostislav's "propagandists", news soon spread throughout Kyiv that they would go to Northeast Russia to make a fortune.

Those who did not follow the prince's immigration team to Northeast Ross regret it now. These people could join the Rostislav immigration team, but they refused. Now they go to get rich, but they still continue to be poor , Now that the opportunity falls in front of him, he naturally doesn't want to miss it.

Even some wealthy citizens want to leave. Due to the strict tax policy of the Grand Duke of Kyiv, many rich people feel uncomfortable and want to leave Kyiv to try their luck elsewhere.

Some people have already begun to clamor to follow the prince back to Northeast Ross, but at this time Rostislav is not busy recruiting people.

He still has a lot of jobs in the south, so it's not appropriate to recruit people early, it's better to hang them up, as time goes by, more and more immigrants will be attracted.

What's more, he came to Kyiv to go to Hungary, and he was about to leave, to the country of Magyar.
